Concept of Spirituality
(concept of spirit - spirituality)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Every human being is primarily spiritual as the soul atman within that has manifested the body is a spirit... an energy force that can only be felt but never seen! Every living being has a spirit within in the form of our soul atman residing within our heart.

The moment we realize it is our soul atman within that has manifested the body... some questions come to our mind. Who are we? Why our soul atman... the spirit has manifested us? What is the purpose of life for a human being? What is our relationship with our spiritual inner self etc?

We can get the answers of these queries if we walk the spiritual path. Religion does not directly provide us answers to all the queries. The implied vested interests of the religious leaders do not allow them to do so. Only while traveling the spiritual path can one know the real truth of life! It is spirituality that gives all the answers.

Bhagavad Gita... the foremost scripture of spirituality... the doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna in Mahabharata is unique in the sense that the knower of all the 700 verses becomes the knower of all. Assimilating the pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita one finally reaches the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and gains salvation (moksha).

Traveling the religious path... none can gain enlightenment. Religion only helps us live the present physical manifested life... a life span of about 70 to 80 years! Spirituality dives deep into the bottomless pit of 8.4 million manifestations (an earthly journey of 96.4 million years)... and explains us everything we need to know about our real self.

Our soul atman within reaches the stage of enlightenment and liberation after crossing 8.4 million manifestations on the whole... a long journey in the life of the soul atman! To liberate forever from the cycle of birth and death is the cosmic goal of every life form. It is only as a human being... the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle... we gain enlightenment!

Spirituality is absolutely beyond the purview of science for the simple reason that science demands proofs. In the field of spirituality it is absolute faith in the system of God that is governing. Spirituality is also not related to any religion or creed. It carries same meaning for every human being living on Mother Earth.

Paths may be different... the goal for all is the same! Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed all became man gods in their life after gaining enlightenment and salvation. All reached the kingdom of God (aka Vaikunth in Hinduism) in their lifetime! Whether we start our spiritual pursuit in this manifestation or four manifestations henceforth is our prerogative... the better the earlier!
